B-12 levels

Recommended Posts

I have been following posts about B-12 and have some questions. My

b-12 is running 564 as of last labs. I have been taking 2 multi vits a

day for a total of 36mcg a day . I also take 325mg iron twice a day.

My Hemoglobin is 10.7 as of last testing results (normal is > 12 ) my

total iron levels are normal and my total iron binding capacity is

high which shows that I do have iron deficiancy anemia rather than

some other weird blodd disorder. It also shows that even though my

hemoglobing is low I am storing and holding on to my iron well.

However, I was trying to follow the posts about low B-12 causing

depression. I went on antidepressants 3 weekd ago as I had been

feeling rather depressed. I saw my doc today and she drew a bunch of

labs. I had hernia surgery (emergency after a bowel obstruction in

August )It was very traumatic, i truely feared I would die, I was in

the most horrible pain of my life and I have had kidney stones and

child birth without anesthesia so I am not a wimp. I was in so much

pain I fainted in the emergency room . Scared my husband nearly to

death too. I have never felt very good since the surgery. I think

that was the beginning of the depression but my doc and I wanted to

rule out any other physical causes. My question is do you think that

my B12 level , even tho " normal " might be a cause of my depression? I

can take sublinguals if necessary and my doc is also willing to give

me shots if i think I need them. she is also checking my thyroid

function as well.

Are you taking ferrous SULFATE? You might want to try an absorbable

iron so you can get out of the iron anemia. When something gets

whacked, EVERYTHINGN gets whacked.

Physical trauma, can, and often does, set off a cycle of depression. Given

the extreme pain you experienced it makes some sense.
